Science

Science plays an increasingly important role in the lives of all Canadians. It is involved in virtually all aspects of our daily lives, from life-saving pharmaceuticals to clean water, the places we live and work in, computers and other information technologies, and how we communicate to others. It is important for all citizens to understand science so that they can make informed decisions with regard to their health, impact on the environment and consumer choices.

The impact of science on our lives will continue to grow as the twenty-first century unfolds. Science courses have been designed for a wide variety of students, taking into account their interests and post secondary destinations. Whether a student is pursuing science as a career, as an interest, or simply needs to understand the world around them, there is a science course to meet their needs.
